Dental Implants
A smile can light up a room, but missing teeth can often dim its brilliance. Dental implants offer a permanent solution to missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. At Surgeryist Health Clinic, we believe in providing dental solutions that not only look natural but also stand the test of time.
Understanding Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. Once integrated with the bone, they provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, be it crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Natural Appearance: Implants mimic natural teeth in both look and feel.
- Improved Function: Eat, speak, and laugh without any hindrance.
- Bone Preservation: Prevents bone loss often associated with missing teeth.
- Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
The Dental Implant Procedure: Step by Step
Initial Consultation: Comprehensive assessment of oral health and bone density.
Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone.
Osseointegration: A healing period where the implant fuses with the bone.
Abutment and Crown Placement: The visible part of the tooth (crown) is attached to the implant via an abutment.
Types of Dental Implants at Surgeryist Health Clinic
- Endosteal Implants: Placed directly into the jawbone, they are the most common type.
- Subperiosteal Implants: Situated under the gum but above the jawbone, ideal for patients with minimal bone height.
- All-on-4 Implants: A full arch of teeth supported by just four implants.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Achieve a complete, natural-looking smile.
- Prevention of Further Tooth Loss: Implants provide the stimulation needed to maintain jawbone health.
- Ease of Maintenance: No special care required; regular brushing and flossing suffice.
Potential Risks and Considerations
While dental implants have a high success rate, potential risks include:
- Infection at the implant site.
- Injury to surrounding structures.
- Implant failure or rejection.
- Sinus issues, especially for upper implants.
It's crucial to discuss these risks with our dental specialists to make an informed decision.
